combustion chamber volume on a 350 center bolt head????/

i have a reman 350 with centerbolt heads and i was wondering the combustion chamber volume on the heads. i have a 327 in my garage that has ARP domed pistions and putting the 64 cc heads on it would make way to much compression but would 76 cc heads and a thick head gasket make the comp. ratio driveable? If i can id like to put the 350 heads on it and drop it it my camaro. any help would be great.
thanx
Ross

the heads could be about anything, without more info it's just guessing. i think 58cc is the lowest center bolt. ARP doesn't make pistons. there is a formula for figureing compression, but it requires the deck, piston dish or dome, gasket, and head cc. if you can find that out you can figure your compression. domed pistons create a lot of problem, you'd be way ahead with flat tops if you can swing it.

Ede is right, you get a reman and who knows whats on there. The stock 350 centerbolt heads used on thirdgens are 64cc. I dont know about the rest of the cars, but knowing GM they didnt make a bunch of different head castings. Thats probably your best bet without taking the head off, is get the casting number off of it.

Spit,

If you want the compression calculator (in Excel format) check this link:
